Halle Berry Confirms Her Involvement With ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

Director Bryan Singer has already brought back a number of actors from the original X-Men trilogy for X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and one of the most frequently asked questions was if  we would see Halle Berry returning for the next film.

 

Well, after months of speculation we’ve finally got an answer to whether or not we will see the actress return as Ororo Munroe/Storm . While speaking with Access Hollywood, promoting her latest film The Call, the Berry has confirmed that she will indeed be returning for Fox’s next film in the X-Men franchise.

“I am [excited], yeah,” she said, when asked if she’s looking forward to donning her superhero duds again. “I love Storm. That’s one of my favorite characters that I’ve played. And people love that character as well.”

 

Berry will be joining a massive and very impressive cast for this film. Here’s to hoping that we get to see Storm rock the mohawk in this film.

by Shawn Madden

There’s definitely two characters in the X-Men universe that fans are massively hoping to see in the highly-anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Well, in an interview with IGN Movies, director Bryan Singer hinted that we may actually see them return to the big screen. When the director was told that a lot of fans would like to see Scott Summers and Jean Grey return the director replied with:

 

“Who wouldn’t? Who wouldn’t? [Laughing] That’s all I can say. The good news is that we’re all on the same page!”

 

Earlier in the interview, Singer emphasised that he has plans to fix some of the not-so-popular decisions that were made in X-Men: The Last Stand. It has also been revealed that the director has a few “younger characters” that he’s currently in the process of casting. Could we see a young Jean and Scott join the team? Or possibly even a return for James Marsden and Famke Janssen? Either way, there’s definitely hope that these beloved characters will be joining the cast of the highly-anticipated next X-film.

Bryan Singer Talks ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’,Says He’s Going To “Correct A Few Things”

by Shawn Madden

While speaking with Hit Fix doing promotion for Jack The Giant Slayer, director Bryan Singer spoke more about the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past, which begins shooting in April. This time around Singer stated that Days Of Future Past is more of its own thing than an actual sequel.

 

uncanny-x-men-142-wolverine-storm

 

“This movie’s gonna be not only quite epic, ‘Days of Future Past,’ but it also takes place in completely different times than the ‘X-Men’ movies have taken place. There’ll be new technology, new things we haven’t seen before in ‘X-Men’ films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn’t be done yet, so it’s not so much sequel. It’s more of its own kinda thing.”

 

One of the biggest problems fans have had with the X-films has been some continuity errors ( there are a few major ones), and some had wondered if they were rebooting the series with X-Men: First Class (which Singer was a producer on). Well, it appears that Singer may be out to fix some of these problems. When asked if the film was a sort-of reset for the franchise, Singer stated with a smile:

 

“I’ll be able to correct a few things.”

 

Well, hopefully one of those things is correcting how Scott Summers got the shaft in X3. We’re just saying.

Peter Dinklage To Play Main Antagonist In ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

Yesterday when we reported the news, were you one of the many people who believed that actor Peter Dinklage would be playing fan-favorite Puck in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past? Well, you can throw that idea right out the window. Variety has revealed that the Golden Globe winning actor will actually be playing the main antagonist of the film.

 

“In it is unknown at this time what character Dinklage would be playing but sources have told Variety it would be the main antagonist.”

 

There’s quite a few characters that Dinklage could be playing. With the Sentinels being used in the film, could we see Dinlkage appear as their creator? Or could be possibly even be that all CG character that Singer was considering? There’s plenty of exciting possibilities regarding who he could be playing in the film. As we get closer to the film starting shooting in April, we should learn more regarding the actor’s role. Keep checking back for more updates.

Peter Dinklage Joins The Cast Of ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

Bryan Singer is calling X-Men: Days Of Future Past  “the biggest movie he’s ever made” and it seems like every week it’s just getting bigger. Bryan Singer has just revealed that Game Of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage is the latest addition to the massive cast of the highly-anticipated next film in the franchise.

There are no details regarding just what the role is, but there’s one character that many may assume the actor could be playing. Is there a chance we may be seeing the Canadian fan-favorite Puck making a big screen debut? Us here at Geekscape certainly hope so. It seems like Singer still has some big announcements on the way and we can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us.

UPDATE: Well, Dinklage definitely isn’t playing Puck. It’s been revealed that he will play the film’s main antagonist. Let the speculation begin on just which X-villain we will see the actor play.

Bryan Singer Calls ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ “The Biggest Movie He’s Ever Made”

by Shawn Madden

We’ve been hearing quite about recently from Bryan Singer regarding the highly-anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and while speaking with Collider the director has given away a few new details regarding the film including confirming when the film begins shooting.

 

“I start shooting April 15th in Montreal, probably until October.”

“It’s a big movie. It’ll be the biggest movie I’ve ever made.”

 

1881056-xmen_schism_1_preview1_1_02f

 

It was recently revealed that the film would be set in the 70’s and Singer goes on to confirm that as well as revealing someone who will be making an appearance in the film.

 

“Richard Nixon’s in it, that’ll be an interesting casting choice… There’ll also be some more science-fiction-type aspects to the story and, without giving it away, some technology that we haven’t seen yet in the X-Men universe.”

 

Could they be replacing Senator Kelly (who was the target of an assassination plot in the original story) with Richard Nixon? Quite possibly. And what about this new technology not “seen yet in the X-Men universe”? Could he be referring to the Sentinels or something completely different? Guess we’re going to have to wait until the film hits screens next year.

Bryan Singer Unsure If Halle Berry Will Be Back For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

With production about to being on X-Men: Days Of Future Past, you’d think they had the whole cast lined up. However, director Bryan Singer keeps adding characters from the franchise and with a number of cast from the original trilogy on board, some have wondered if we would see the return of Halle Berry as Storm. It seems that Singer really isn’t even sure at the moment himself.

 

002089918466

 

 

“I can’t say. I don’t know yet. And it’s not necessarily a deal making aspect at all. I want to make sure it’ll make sense.”

 

Singer also isn’t revealing yet just who the main character or characters of the film are going to be, but does confirm that every character has purpose in the upcoming sequel to X-Men: First Class.

 

“I don’t want to say who the protagonists are yet, or talk about that yet, but I will say that every character has a very important function in the story. The story is designed and catered to the combined cast. It’s not just throwing in people to occupy the screen, occupy the billboards.”

 

Singer also went on to state that the plot of the films story is very much geared around the central cast. With filming expected to begin in a few months, we should expect to hear the final cast line-up very soon.

Shawn Ashmore Talks About ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

We’ve slowly been learning more and more about Bryan Singer’s upcoming return to the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Now, the actor who portrayed Iceman in the first three X-Men films, Shawn Ashmore, talked to IGN and commented on returning to the franchise to play Bobby Drake aka Iceman in the sequel to X-Men: First Class. Ashmore commented briefly on returning to the franchise and when he realized he was going to be a part of the new film:

 

ashmore-xm

 

 

“When I heard it was Days of Future Past I knew it was time travel, but the only time I ever really thought, ‘Oh, maybe I’m actually going to be a part of this’ is when Bryan came back to direct. And that’s just because we have a relationship and had worked together before. I just thought, ‘Oh, maybe Bryan would want to bring back some of the people he worked with before.’ Before that I had no idea, and I didn’t theorize too much because that’s when you get your hopes up.”

 

Ashmore commented on whether or not he’s read the script yet and what fans should expected from it:

 

“I know about the script, but I haven’t been able to read the script. (Laughs) I haven’t read the script, but I have a very good idea of what’s happening and what my role is. I know, but I’m sworn to secrecy.”

 

“I think the take on the story is really interesting. I think that Days of Future Past, as any X-Men fans knows, is a great arc. I love the idea of combining and bringing some cohesion to the two timelines that are happening now. I think that’s exciting. Obviously the First Class cast is incredible, and having Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman interact with other cast members is going to be really exciting. Not only is the combination of the cast going to be really cool, but the story itself is going to be really fun.”

 

Ashmore will join Michael Fassbender, James MacAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Ellen Page, Hugh Jackman, Ann Pacquin and many more in the next X-film. Hopefully we get some new casting announcements very soon.

Could ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ See The Introduction Of A “New” Team?

by Shawn Madden

There’s been plenty of news when it comes to cast members from the original trilogy returning for  X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but when it comes to the cast from X-Men: First Class only a handful have been revealed to be coming back. Bryan Singer has already revealed that James MacAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will all be returning for the film. But what about the rest of the cast?

 

first-class-signed-on-cast

 

 

With the recent revelation that events in the sequel would take place over ten years after the events of First Class, there’s highly a chance we may not see some of the younger cast members returning. Does this mean that we may see a “new” team introduced in the upcoming sequel comprised of younger versions of characters from the original trilogy?

 

xaviers-school

 

 

With the director bringing back many cast members from his previous X-films, is the possibility of Singer not only bringing back actors but characters that he’s previously worked with highly unlikely? Definitely not. This would also work quite well is Singer and Millar are working to fix FOX’s X-movie timeline being. Why is that you ask? Well, we did get cameos from two of the mentioned characters in X-Men: First Class.

 

1830484-xfc2_super

 

 

There’s plenty of exciting possibilities surrounding this film. And this one is just speculation for now, but at the rate things are going, we’re definitely going to be learning a lot more about the film before it begins shooting in a few months. But seriously Singer, we really all want Scott Summers to come back for this one.

Bryan Singer Talks About The Use Of Time Travel In ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

While speaking with Empire Magazine, X-Men: Days Of Future Past director Bryan Singer talked about dealing with time travel in the upcoming X-film. The film will be based on a classic X-Men storyline that sees Kitty Pryde travel back in time from an apocalyptic future in which mutants are hunted by Sentinels in an attempt to change the past. And from the sound of it, Singer has been talking to the right people when it comes to making a movie that involves time travelling.

 

x-dofp-2

 

“”It’s epic. I don’t think people realise how big this movie’s going to be. We get to bring both casts together. We’ve cracked it in a way that makes sense. I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick with them. That’s what makes Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions and characters, that make this possible. More than any of the movies I’ve made, it comes to me much more quickly than on other films. With Superman Returns I struggled a lot. I guess it’s either my history with the X-Men universe or I have some kind of knack for this particular story.”

 

Singer also commented on what to expect from the upcoming prequel/sequel:

 

“It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it’s like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie.”

 

The director also commented on how much this film will tie in with the previous X-films:

 

“I’m taking into account every movie – I’m not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I’m taking into account the entire universe as it’s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that. People took things in various directions, so there’s some clean-up. But ultimately I’m not just ignoring them either.”

 

Whether you liked Superman Returns or not, it’s undeniable that Singer made two great X-Men films prior to working on that. And it definitely sounds like he’s on the right track for making a great, if not the best, X-Men film to date here. But seriously, Bryan we’re waiting for you to announce the return of one of the Summers brothers already.

Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, And Shawn Ashmore Confirmed For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Bryan Singer has just revealed that Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore will all be returning for X-Men: Days Of Future Past. The trio of course are all X-Men veterans (last appearing in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand), having portrayed Shadowcat, Rogue, and Iceman respectively.

Where would we be without Twitter, am I right? We certainly wouldn’t have this fantastic tidbit of information (and we wouldn’t know who MIGHT be directing ‘Justice League’ either)!

 

 

You’ll be able to see these three, along with Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman and many, many others (hopefully including Lucas Till, who we spoke to just a few weeks ago) when X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on July 18th, 2014.

Hugh Jackman Gives Away Small Spoiler For ‘The Wolverine’

by Shawn Madden

Well, it appears that Hugh Jackman may have just confirmed a rumor that was reported a few months back. While speaking with Parade at the Les Miserable’s release, Jackman was  pretty straight-forwardly asked to spill some details about the film.

Give us a little scoop on the film.

And even though you thought he might have dodged the question. Jackman replied with:

You want to get me into trouble, don’t you? [laughs] Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him. And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it.

Now, of course there’s a number of characters that could appear. But it is definitely worth noting that an earlier rumor surfaced that we may see Famke Jansenn appearing in the film as Jean Grey. We’ll find out just who is going to be making an appearance when The Wolverine hits theaters on July 26, 2013.

RUMOR: Fox Wants James Marsden And Halle Berry Back For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

Filming is set to being in April of next year on the beyond highly-anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and we should expect to see quite a few more casting reports  for the upcoming sequel. Bryan Singer has already confirmed that James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will return for the film, as well as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen reprising their roles from the original trilogy. It has also been revealed that Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman is in talks to join the fim.

Well, it looks like there’s a chance we may be getting even more of the original cast back. Word on the streets is that Fox wants James Marsden and Halle Berry to reprise their roles as Scott Summers aka Cyclops and Ororo Munroe aka Storm. While many may not care about Halle Berry returning, there are plenty of people out there who would be overly excited to see Marsden return after Scott Summers getting the shaft in X-Men: The Last Stand.

The original storyline that this film is based on deals “with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps.” So, having these characters appear for small bits in the future segments can totally work easily. None of this is confirmed at the moment, but our fingers are definitely crossed that this one happens. Well, actually we just want Marsden to come back.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is scheduled to hit theaters  July 18th, 2014.
